My Heart only Beats for You

Jessie's gaze wavered. Her smile seemed forced. "Young lady, is your background very important to you?" Natalie nodded solemnly, saying, "I want to know who my parents are and where I cfrom. Auntie, do you know about it?" The hesitation in Jessie's eyes grew deeper.

After a while, she looked at Natalie and said, "Young lady, if your parents aren't alive anymore, would you still want to know about your background?" Natalie stiffened.

She looked at Jessie in astonishment.

Her parents weren't alive anymore.

Natalie's head buzzed. Her body wobbled.

Tobias strode towards her and held her in his arms. "Natalie, I'm here." His words were firm and reassuring.

They slowly gave strength to Natalie's limp body.

No matter what, she still had Tobias.

Natalie bit the tip of her tongue.

She looked at Jessie and said clearly, "Auntie, regardless of whether my parents are still alive or not, I want to know about my birth and background; I want to know where I cfrom and who I really am. Everyone has a place from when they came, and my purpose for coming here is to figure that out." Jessie had a complicated gaze.

After a while, she let out a long sigh.

"Young lady, I used to work for the government. Back then, I was assigned a task, to send a newborn baby girl to an orphanage. This baby girl had only just been born from her mother's womb, but before she could even get a sip of milk, her mother shot herself in the mouth." Natalie widened her eyes.

She looked at Jessie and said, "Auntie, what do you mean she shot herself in the mouth? She then turned to Tobias. "Tobias, what does that mean?" A shadow flickered in Tobias' dark eyes.

He suddenly had a very strong hunch that Natalie's background wasn't as simple as he had thought.

He had originally assumed that Natalie was just a girl born in an ordinary family, abandoned by her parents for various reasons.

However, Jessie had mentioned that Natalie's mother had shot herself in the mouth, which means that Natalie's background definitely wasn't that simple.

Tobias felt a sudden sense of regret.

He had been too confident that Natalie's background would be very plain.

If he had known earlier, he would never have brought Natalie to Jessie.

He wouldn't have let Natalie find out that her mother committed suicide by taking a shot to the mouth. How heavy of a blow would this be to Natalie? Jessie's tone beceven more serious. "Young lady, your mother immediately committed suicide after giving birth to you, that's why I sent you to an orphanage." Natalie was reeling in shock.

She couldn't control herself and becagitated. "Why did she commit suicide? Why did she kill herself after giving birth to me?" Jessie lowered her voice, saying, "Young lady, this is something on an international scale. I..." "I want to know, no matter what! This is about my birth mother, I must know!" Natalie yelled.

Jessie averted her gaze. "Your father was a special agent. He accepted a task to assassinate one of the leaders of the United States. Before he could act, his plan was discovered by a high-ranking army officer. He shot your father dead on the spot, and your mother couldn't handle the shock after she heard the news. That's why she committed suicide with a shot to the mouth after giving birth to you." Natalie felt light-headed.

Tobias held Natalie tightly in his arms. His dark eyes were swirling with all sorts of complex emotions. How could her background be like this? Tobias' embrace was very warm, but it couldn't warm up Natalie's heart right now.

Natalie's lips were pale.

She had even talked to Tobias before this, whether she might be the daughter of a mafia boss or something along those lines, like the stories in , and Tobias had said that it was impossible. He had said that reality was different from fiction.

Natalie also laughed at herself, feeling that she had thought too much.

Perhaps she had been abandoned because her parents had wanted a son instead, or they were an irresponsible couple who didn't want children so early, so they threw her away.

However, she now knew that she was wrong, totally wrong.

Life was far crazier than that in .

How could her birth parents have abandoned her for this reason? Her father was a special agent who failed an assassination mission, so he was shot to his death on the spot, whereas her mother couldn't handle the shock so she committed suicide by shooting herself. How could this be? How could this possibly be?! Sear*ch the (F)indwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

Natalie's head ached terribly.

She held her head tightly. "Tobias, my head hurts really badly." Tobias immediately called for a doctor.

The doctor gave Natalie a sedative and said that her emotions had overwhelmed her.

Natalie, who had been sedated, becsilent instantly.

She felt a fit of drowsiness and a wave of strong sleepiness swept over her.

However, she tried her best to keep her eyes open and not allow herself to sleep.

Looking at Jessie, she said, "Auntie, who killed my father? Who shot him? Didn't they know that this man had an expecting wife? They could've just captured him after finding out about his assassination plan, but why did they choose to kill him on the spot? Why? Tellwhy!" Natalie shouted out loud.

She knew that the army officer at the scene had the right to shoot her father, who was a special agent. However, as that agent's daughter, Natalie just couldn't accept it.

Jessie's tone beceven more pained as she answered, "The officer who shot your father was Santiago he's already retired, he still has great power and authority. There's no use even if you know his name." Read the latest Lawson. Even thoX Wa chapter there! Santiago Lawson...

As if a strong ray of light had shot at Natalie's brain, she could no longer resist the overwhelming drowsiness and fell into slumber.

Tobias looked at Jessie sharply and asked, "Do you know who I am?" Jessie shivered.

She had already been through a lot in this life of hers, and this man was much younger than her but why did feeler shre feel fear when facing his penetrating gaze? "Aren't you this young lady's husband?" Jessie mustered her courage to answer. Tobias frowned, his dark eyes revealing complex emotions.

He knew how to see through people. When he questioned Jessie, he could see that she wasn't lying, that she truly didn't know his identity.

What's more...

Was what Jessie said true? Was that the truth about Natalie's background? Tobias' brows furrowed even further. After a while, he called Cecilia.

Natalie had a dream.

In her dream, she saw her mother.

Her mother's face was blurry.

In her dream, her mother told her over and over again that she wanted her to take revenge "Natalie, if it weren't for Santiago, how could I have died? It's his fault, Natalie. He killed your father and your mother. Natalie, you must avenge us." Natalie woke up from the nightmare.

When she woke up, she felt that her whole body was trembling.
